The best of the best

Working with Plan It To The T, and more specifically Ty, was the highlight of our wedding experience. From our first call together only a few months before the wedding until after the wedding fun ended, Ty was an incredible communicator, planner, coordinator, and person. Our first call felt like we were talking to an old friend, she was so excited to hear our vision for our big day, and got involved immediately. During the planning process, our venue was very un- accommodating and increasingly difficult to work with, but Ty always kept her professional spirit and enthusiasm, assuring us it would all work out well. She met with them to eventually make a thoughtful and thorough plan and get them on board for our big day. She even got Plan It To The T a permanent DC liquor license when we expressed that having a full bar was important to us. The catering and chef are amazing. When we had our tasting, the chef prepared incredible food and beverages that we were proud to serve our family and guests. On wedding day, as far as my husband and I noticed, everything went off without a hitch. We were able to fully enjoy the ceremony, reception, and after party. When we got word of our cake being sent home to the wrong person, Plan It To The T was so very professional and kind, and replaced our top layer of cake for us from the same bakery, which honestly was such a testament to how incredible of a person Ty is. She didn’t have to go to such lengths, but she did. We couldn’t have been more grateful to hire her. We would happily recommend her and her team to anyone planning a wedding in the DC area!

Yummy food and perfect attention to detail

I hosted a tea for my dear friends and Plan it to the T-Catering and Planning helped create a special and memorable event. The food was delicious while still meeting my guests’ many dietary restrictions - gluten free, vegan, shellfish allergy and nut free. I wanted cuisine that was filling, more like small plates than a traditional tea and they exceeded my expectations. The table settings and decor all set the stage for my friends who are all moms to unwind, relax, eat, drink and enjoy each others’ company.

Fantastic Catering at a Great Price

We had a wonderful experience working with Tyanna and her team for our wedding. From the beginning, they were professional, responsive, and very accommodating to our budget needs. Their pricing was significantly lower than other caterers we looked at and honestly the only option we found that truly fit within our limited budget without sacrificing quality.

On the wedding day, the staff was efficient, organized, and did an excellent job moving throughout the venue without ever feeling intrusive. Everything ran smoothly, and so many of our guests told us how much they enjoyed the food. We were genuinely impressed by both the quality of the service and the value for the money. We’re very grateful to Tyanna and her staff for helping make our wedding such a success!

Highly recommend!


T and her company were amazing to work with! She is able to make a large wedding look easy (it’s not lol). My husband and I had a personal tragedy occur literal weeks before our wedding taking our focus elsewhere. I sent inspiration photos and we discussed our vision (simple elegance) and she handled everything else: coordination with the venues, our photographer, the transportation company, catering, and most importantly, with my husband, to allow as little stress on me (us) for our wedding while ensuring it was what we wanted. She is very communicative and able to resource pretty much anything (e.g. burgundy flowers, specific table settings, etc). She directed my focus to the most important things we wanted and was able to instinctually fill in the rest when I wasn’t mentally and physically able to facilitate, creating the vision we so wanted for our wedding. We have received so many compliments from our friends and family and most importantly, we are happy with what was delivered for our special day.

Professional, Creative, Timely

Plan It To The T accommodated me by putting my son’s rehearsal dinner on their calendar at the last minute. I was given 3 recommendations by wineries in the area about Plan It To The T. They did not disappoint! Setup and cleanup was seamless. Food looked and tasted wonderful. Service was 5 star! I also enjoyed their services at a small function where again, they were professional, creative, and the food was delicious.

Simply VHB

My story goes like this my son was born and raised on the East Coast, however the wedding was planned and held on the West Coast. With that distance, there were a lot of people who would not be able to the attend the wedding on the West Coast. When I got back home from the West Coast, I felt so bad. I felt I needed to do something, and I knew it would be short notice. I called “Plan It to The T “ for three day request of help me plan something for my family and friends on East Coast. I tell you what they put together I couldn’t have come up with that spread, if I plan for a year ahead. I am very grateful for them. I don’t have wedding here on the East Coast but the audience was on point. and a in my home and tells different story This affair was put together for me at a moments notice, in less than three days along with a live Saxophonist. Compliments. by all those who attend, said they felt a part of the wedding, thanks to “Plan It To The T” . I used their service four times since the wedding of 2015 through 2025. And I’ll use them in the future.
